charge the battery:
-

u
sing the vehicle mainly for short journeys,
-

i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself,
use only a


charger compatible with lead-

nominal voltage of
12


V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery. F

S
witch off the ignition.
F
S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio

of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will verify that the internal
components have not been damaged
and that the case has not cracked, which
would mean a
risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.

by the Brand, such as a
USB charger
connected to the 12
V socket.
The exterior environment (hills, buildings,

may block reception, including in RDS
mode. This behaviour is normal in the
propagation of radio waves and does not
indicate any failure of the audio system.

100% of the territory. This explains the loss
of reception of the station during a
journey.

USB socket
Insert the USB memory stick in the USB socket
or connect the USB device to the USB socket
using a


suitable cable (not supplied).
To protect the system, do not use a
USB
hub.
Auxiliary socket (AUX)
Depending on equipment
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input"
has been checked in the audio settings.
Connect a
portable device (MP3 player, etc.) to
the auxiliary Jack socket using an audio cable
(not supplied).
First adjust the volume on the portable device
(to a
high level). Then adjust the volume of the
audio system.
Management of the controls is via the portable
device.
Selecting the source
If the "DAB" station being listened to is
not available on FM, or if the "FM-DAB
tracking" is not activated, the sound will
cut out while the digital signal is too weak. The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory), an operation which can take from
a
few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the
ignition is switched off or a
USB memory stick
is connected. The lists are memorised: if they
are not modified, the subsequent loading time
will be shorter. Press Radio Media
to display the
primary page.
